How have I not read this yet?


Hello Lovelies!

This week's top ten Tuesday (as always brought to you by The Broke and the Bookish) is all about books I've missed in Contemporary Young Adult Fiction.

I'm usually pretty great at reading Fantasy books. I mean, I often think, oooh I need this very specific type of Fantasy novel to read. While I occasionally think, I want a fun contemporary read, that's a lot less common and I never think of certain scenarios I want in them. So here's a list of 10 Contemporary Fiction Books on my to-read list.


Girl at Sea by Maureen Johnson
Honey Baby Sweetheart by Deb Caletti
Sloppy Firsts by Megan McCafferty


My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick
The Miseducation of Cameron Post by emily m. danforth
The Moon and More by Sarah Dessen
This Song will Save Your Life by Leila Sales


Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo
How Zoe Made Her Dreams (Mostly) Come True by Sarah Strohmeyer
Just One Day by Gayle Forman

There are so many more on my to-read list! This is mostly a selection of ones that I own and haven't read (although there are a few on here which I own but don't have with me....sigh, moving is the worst).

What about you lovelies? What books would you add to my list? Or what tops your list of books you can't believe you haven't read?

More Diversity in Your Book Diet

Hello Lovelies! As usual Top Ten Tuesday is brought to you by the lovely people over at The Broke and the Bookish . Today's topic is Top Ten Books for People Who Like X, and I'm going to go with... Top Ten Books for People Who Like Diversity Thanks to the efforts of groups like We Need Diverse Books, diversity is having a resurgence in young adult and children's books. For the last couple years, I have been trying to read more books with diverse characters or by diverse authors. (Diverse in this respect includes race, sexuality, gender, and disability). I haven't endeavored to challenge myself to only read a certain type of book i.e. only those by women of color or anything that isn't by a white heterosexual male, but I try to be extra aware of the characters and ask myself if they actually are white (sometimes the text doesn't say it, sometimes people just assume it!) and if being white is necessary for the character or not.  But here are my top t...

Blarghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Hello lovelies. I'm feeling super overwhelmed by life since I'm doing Camp Nanowrimo and trying to move and find a place to live 2600 miles away. So that's my excuse for missing last week. But now you get two weeks in a row. So this week's theme (hosted as always by The Broke and the Bookish ) is... Top Ten Favorite Movies   (And I picked Scary Movies) I have a secret. Or I guess I had a secret. And that secret is that I love  scary movies. Like anything that plays on gross special effects or melting walls or sudden appearances--I'm totally down for it. (This has only back fired on me once--when I had a panic attack watching Saw 2--I don't wanna talk about it...) So in no particular order, movies that really impressed me with their scare factors: 1. Thir13een Ghosts -- there's this scene with a glass door that is ingrained in my brain.  2. Haunting in Conneticut -- aw man, this movie is sooo good. I actu...

Happy New Year's Eve Lovelies!! I hope you are all out having a terrific night and that you won't see this until 2014 has officially rung in.  Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the wonderful people over at The Broke & the Bookish --check out their post or their list of other awesome blogs who have participated! 1. Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell: Once I put up my year in review survey, no one will be surprised by this, but this book is definitely my favorite of the year. It is the most amazing book I've read in a long while.  2. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell: Oh Fangirl, I just barely squeezed you in to 2013, but I managed it. Mostly because once I picked it up I didn't put it back down. I couldn't. It was sort of like reading a pseudo-AU of my life. 3. American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang: This was a wonderful book that showed the commonalities and differences of people of all ages across cultures. I loved it.  4. Hyperbole an...
